Patented July 12, 1932 Application filed October 21, 1930, $eria1 No.

My invention relates to windowsrand more particularly to windows havingmetal sashes.

It is an object of my invention to provide PATENT OFFICE or ERLIN;GERMANY wmpow i Y 490,275, and in Germany September 25, 1929.

to Fig. 1, a is a wall, its outside being at the left, I) is an anglesection inserted in the opening as a frame, with its vertical fiange' atthe outside, and is a packing within the section a window of the typereferred to which is which may be rubber, felt, orzthe like, and

readily manufactured at low cost and particularly is without the normalexpensive and diflicultly machined sectioned sashes.

To this end I make the sash of flat inclined metal bars.

A sash of this type affords a good seat for the pane on the inclinedinnerfaces of the bars without necessitating sections, preventsextraction of the pane from one side, generally the outside of thewindow, and is braced by the pane so that forces acting on the sash areuniformly distributed through the pane; The inclined outer faces of thesash make an excellent fiton the window .frame which is tight againstany weather without packing strips and other compliably of wood, on theinside of the pane e cated accessories.

Any number of panes may be-inserted in a sash by securing within aprincipal or outer sash any number of'inner sashes, each holding a paneand adapted to be rocked separately about the sash pin. Obviously thecomplete window may also be rocked about the pin. A double or multiplewindow of this kind is very simple and cheap.

The frame for lining the window opening maybe designed in various ways.stance, I may provide an angle section and fill it with means forholding tight at the faces of the sash, or I may insert a sectionedfillet in the opening, and in the fillet I may insert a frame of fiatbars like the sash.

In the accompanying drawing several windows embodying my invention areillustrated that the sash should be packed along inclined in section byway of example.

In the drawing Fig. 1 shows a window with a frame of angle section. Fig.2 is a perspective illustration of a sash,

Fig. 3 shows a window with a frame consisting of a fillet and fiat barslike the sash,

and a -Fig. 4 shows a window having two sashes,

each with a pane.

Referring now to the drawing, and first may be subdivided into layers orstrips.

In windows opening to the outside the vertical flange will obviously beon the inside, that is, at the right in Fig. 1.

Referring now to Fig. 2, the sash r is built up from flat and inclinedmetal bars, one of -which is shown in section at d in Fig. 1. e is thepane which is inserted in the sash simply bypushingit toward theoutside, without any means for holding it on the outside as theinclination of the sash bars holds it in a definite position. Obviouslythe pane cannot be extracted from the outside. Preferably a strip ofputty is placed against the outside of the pane at f, not for holding itbut for making a tight fit. .b is a fillet, prefer- For inin Fig. 1, andis lined with a frame '5 which corresponds to the outside of the sash h.

In combination with this type, a strip, not shown, of packing materialmay be secured to the outside of the sash, and, if desired, the packinga, Fig. 1, may also be secured to the sash on. the outside.- It is only,important facesas the sash exerts a sort of wedge action on the packingwhich effects a. tight fit without seizing so that it opens readilynotwithstanding its tight fitting. 3

Referring now to Fig. 4, the angle-section frame I) is inserted in theopening of the wall a as described with reference to Fig. 1 butobviously a fillet such as k, Fig. 3, might also be provided as the,frame. mend it are two sashes, with panes 6. and 6 respectively,

which are mounted to rock on the same pin p, the inner sash n fittingthe outer sash m.

Both sashes are designed as shownin Fig. 2, and the outer sash m makes atight fit on the packing in the section b which packing is not shown inFi 4 but obviously may be the same as the pac ng cin Fig. 1. The pane .eis held in its sash m by 'a fillet g, the same as in Fig. 1,and is heldtight by a strip of putty 7 while the pane 6 is inserted between twofillets '0 and 0 The inner sash n may be opened independently of theouter sash m,

or both sashes may be opened together. f

The edges of the panes 6 etc. are preferably beveled as shownin Figs. 1and 4-so as to make a better fit with the inner faces 'of their sashesbut the edges may also be parallel, as

shown in Fig. 3. The fillets g, o, 0 and g, may-be so designed as toconceal the sash and to make up.

a good-looking frameat right angles to the panes.

' Any number of windows may be arranged in juxtaposed or superimposedrelation in the manner'indicated in Fig. 4, without neces sitating crossframes and the like. All windows, whatever their number,-may be mountedto rock about a single pin.

The sash, or sashes, are almost invisible from the outside, and may becompletely concealed if desired for esthetic reasons.

-\ I claim:-

1. In a windowframe construction a sash .of flat inclined metal bars. 2.A window comprising a sash of flat inof fiat inclined metal bars, a sashpin about which both sashes are mounted to rock, the

inner sash being shorter than, and fitting in, the outer sash, andadapted to be moved independently of said outer sash, and a pane in eachsash.

9. A double window comprising two sashes 10. A window comprising a sashof flat metal bars, a pane insertedin said sash, and
